is_bounce() returns true for non-bounces?

it appears that $bounce->is_bounce() returns true by default, even on human replies and random emails, which is unexpected. do you need to pre-parse incoming mail to see if it looks like a bounce before passing it to Mail::DeliveryStatus::BounceParser for confirmation of the fact?

thanks.

I had similar results with the latest version. A sample usage of BounceParser is here which checks the return-path header before using BounceParser. A similar check in my application greatly improved the bounce parsing accuracy.
